S216-- EXTERIOR CANOPY AND WINDOW WASHING at RALPH H JONHSON | CO: Sheryl Harris; Assn.

The contract is a Firm-Fixed-Price solicitation for exterior window and main entrance canopy washing services at the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center located at 109 Bee Street, Charleston, South Carolina, issued under solicitation number 36C24726Q0657 by the Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 7 Network Contracting Office. The requirement is set aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) under NAICS code 561720, with a small business size standard of $22.0 million. The scope encompasses cleaning all approximately 550 exterior windows and a polycarbonate main entrance canopy measuring roughly 3,400 square feet on both the top and bottom surfaces, with the tallest building structure reaching five floors and approximately 60 feet in height. Work must be completed within a strict 60-day window from the start date, but extensions are granted on a day-for-day basis for weather-related delays such as high coastal winds, heavy rain, or lightning that hinder safe high-elevation operations. The contractor must provide all labor, equipment, materials, and supervision without government-provided staging areas, water, or power—they must truck in their own utilities, and full demobilization is required daily at the close of each shift. Boom lifts are permitted for access, subject to coordination with the Contracting Officer’s Representative and compliance with VA safety protocols, but physical scaffolding is not mandatory. No roof anchors or davits are available for fall protection, and the contractor must establish and maintain 10-foot perimeters around all work areas to ensure safety. The building has no history of prior professional exterior window or canopy cleaning, and no incumbent contractor currently holds the service. The contract structure includes a base year from August 10, 2026, through August 9, 2027, with four optional one-year renewal periods extending through August 9, 2031. All deliverables under this contract are government property with unlimited rights, and the contractor must comply with strict records management obligations under the Federal Records Act and Privacy Act, requiring all personnel to complete mandatory Agency-provided records training. Offers must include the Unique Entity Identifier, SAM registration, an SDVOSB certification verified in the SBA database, and a signed certification of compliance with limitations on subcontracting; failure to meet these pass/fail gates renders the proposal ineligible.
